The impact of Ming and Qing dynasty maritime bans on trade ceramics recovered from coastal settlements in northern Sumatra, Indonesia by Tai, Yew Seng, Daly, Patrick, Mckinnon, E. Edwards, Parnell, Andrew, Feener, R. Michael, Majewski, Jedrzej, Nazli Ismail, Sieh, Kerry

“…We review published literature and historical texts to propose that three periods of official Chinese maritime bans impacted the composition and circulation of trade ceramics along Asian trade routes: Ming Ban 1 (1371 – 1509), Ming Ban 2 (1521 – 1529), and Qing Ban (1654 – 1684). …”

Part I: Synthesis of sex pheromone of the pine sawfly, Macrodiprion Nemoralis. Part II: Synthetic studies towards the total synthesis of iriomoteolide-1a by Chin, Yen Jin

“…In the first part of this thesis, an elegant display of the CuI-Tol-BINAP-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition is established in the total synthesis of sex pheromone of the pine sawfly, Macrodiprion Nemoralis (SRRS-1). The key features of our strategy are: (I) one-pot DIBAL-H reduction–Wittig olefination, (II) olefin cross metathesis of fragment A and fragment B, and (III) a CuI-Tol-BINAP-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition using Grignard reagents in good yields and excellent stereoselectivities. …”

Coenesthesia or the immediate feeling of existence: Maine de Biran and the problem of the unconscious between physiology and philosophy by Aloisi, A

“…However, a good sixty years before Ribot, Maine de Biran had already employed the notion of “coenesthesia” to indicate the “immediate feeling of existence,” which he distinguished from the apperception of the self in relation to the body. …”

Using magnetic resonance relaxometry to evaluate the safety and quality of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived spinal cord progenitor cells by Tan, Jerome, Chen, Jiahui, Roxby, Daniel, Chooi, Wai H., Nguyen, Tan D., Ng, Shi Y., Han, Jongyoon, Chew, Sing Y.

“…Background The emergence of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) offers a promising approach for replacing damaged neurons and glial cells, particularly in spinal cord injuries (SCI). Despite its merits, iPSC differentiation into spinal cord progenitor cells (SCPCs) is variable, necessitating reliable assessment of differentiation and validation of cell quality and safety. …”

Induction of neuronal phenotypes from NG2+ glial progenitors by inhibiting epidermal growth factor receptor in mouse spinal cord injury by Ju, Peijun, Zhang, Si, Yeap, Yeeshan, Feng, Zhiwei

“…Taken together, our studies suggest that the EGFR inhibitor could promote neurogenesis post SCI, mainly from the NG2+ glial progenitors. These findings support the possibility of evoking endogenous neuronal replacement from NG2+ glial progenitors and suggest that EGFR inhibition may be beneficial to CNS trauma.…”

Lexical-Semantic Content, Not Syntactic Structure, Is the Main Contributor to ANN-Brain Similarity of fMRI Responses in the Language Network by Kauf, Carina, Tuckute, Greta, Levy, Roger, Andreas, Jacob, Fedorenko, Evelina

“…The critical result—that lexical-semantic content is the main contributor to the similarity between ANN representations and neural ones—aligns with the idea that the goal of the human language system is to extract meaning from linguistic strings. …”
